There’s something about that No. 26 jersey at Penn State.

That was the number Saquon Barkley wore when he was wowing everyone in college football on a weekly basis. And it’s now the number that fresh,an running back Caziah Holmes is sporting as a Nittany Lions. And during a recent practice, Holmes looked an awful lot like Barkley.

Holmes went over the top in a drill, hurdling a defender, taking a hit and still landing on his feet and bolting for the end zone. Fortunately, Penn State’s video team captured the moment and shared it on social media.

Just when you thought Penn State’s running back room couldn’t get any deeper. Holmes already looks like a special player.

Holmes was ranked as the No. 188 player in the 2020 recruiting class, regardless of position. The Florida native was also listed as the No. 5 all-purpose back of the cycle.

It’s only practice, but Holmes appears to be living up to that ranking early in his Penn State career.
